Great Wedding Photographers!

Mariela and Bob are incredible to work with. They captured everything about our day so perfectly.
There was a phone call meeting to ensure Mariela and Bob were the right photographers for us, which was great. There was always communication between the contract signing and our event. The Cares provided us with multiple timelines and options for what the day would look like. They don't miss. The photos are beyond. Friendly and kind, an easy couple to spend a very important day with, I really can't say enough great things about this team. 10/10

The Best Photographers!

I spent endless hours searching for photographers that would be able to perfectly depict the wedding of my dreams and as soon as I came across Bob & Mariela with Care Studios, I knew I had found exactly what I had been looking for. Words can not describe how beautifully they captured my wedding. I look at my pictures regularly and every time I am so vividly reminded of how perfect the day was. They are great to work with and they did an excellent job incorporating our two dogs into our pictures as well. They are extremely talented and I would without a doubt recommend them for both wedding and engagement shoots!

Absolutely Amazing - Look No Further!

WOW. If you are looking for a photographer in the FL Keys, look no further. Bob and Mariela are absolutely exceptional to work with. We did our engagement photos with them in February 2020 to get to know them before our wedding and LOVED them from the start. They are an amazing couple and team that work seamlessly together and are SO easy to work with. My husband and I were so nervous about finding a good photographer that we would be comfortable around and we were so thrilled to have found Care Studios. I highly recommend having an engagement session before the wedding to meet them and put you at ease for how easy your special day will be and how AMAZING the photos will turn out. We have only received a few photos from our wedding on 10/10/2020 so far and they are gorgeous. We cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures. Be sure to check out Bob and Mariela's Instagram and Facebook to see how beautiful their work is.

Fantastic Professionals

Bob Care was absolutely fantastic! Our photos came out so beautifully and Bob was so creative with different shots. He made sure to capture all of the special moments of our day. We love the candid shots of the kids who were at the wedding as well. Money well spent. Wouldn't have picked any other photographer!

Bob and Mariela are the BEST!!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have been recommended to care studios. They were so responsive during the entire experience and have exceeded all of our expectations! I LOVE photos and they were so attentive to any photos we wanted, we also had our pup in our wedding and they did so well with her. They loved having our pup to photograph which made us so happy since she’s part of our family as well. Throughout the whole day they were so great, don’t hesitate to reach out to them to book your big day! You will not regret it! Thank you both for making our day so great and capturing the best moments of it ❤️

Best wedding photographers EVER

Stop reading the reviews and just hire them. Seriously. Bob and Mariela are extremely talented photographers and amazing people. We hired Bob and Mariela for our wedding day, and then decided to have them do an engagement shoot for us with our dogs as well. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking. My husband is a photographer himself, and can be quite awkward when on the other side of the lens. Bob and Mariela made us both feel so comfortable and kept us laughing. They worked so well with our unpredictable pups, too! The day of our wedding was extremely windy, which I wasn’t thrilled about. Bob and Mariela made me feel so much better- they were loving how my dress flowed in the wind, and would get so excited over some of the shots. It made me stop worrying and just enjoy the moment. The preview shots from our wedding I’ve seen so far are more beautiful than I could have imagined. I cannot wait to see the rest. I can’t recommend Care Studios enough! :)

Dream team photographers

My wife and I hired Bob and Mariela to shoot our wedding in the Keys this October. Our experience with the photography team was absolutely flawless. Both are extremely professional photographers and go far above and beyond to make sure their clients are happy with their images. This team is extremely responsive and can adapt to any situation that arises. Bob and Mariela were able to capture some of the greatest moments of our lives and for that, we are always grateful. They know exactly how to facilitate a wedding in a way where amazing pictures are taken and guests feel comfortable the entire time. We could not be more happy with our service and would hire them again in a heartbeat! If you are debating a wedding in the keys, this team is a MUST hire! -B&K
